rip

[tjfs87]

just saw this alt account on my steam, reminded me of when i would play 2-3 alt accounts and a main account for years and years. before dark nebula trashed this game. RIP hades, you are a dumpster fire now.

Based on Steam DB chart DN lasted 2 month, by december the number of players was back to before the update and now it keeps decreasing.
Didn't check other divices (do consoles have stats), but this isn't encouaging for HS futur, especially since they announced worlking on another game.

Haven't played in a while, had uninstalled the game. Tried reinstalling today and the download shows 0kb. Doesn't appear to even install anything anymore. if that's true then nobody new can play. And looking now at their system specs they show that it is only intended for SteamDeck, so maybe a normal Linux machine can't download it.

You need a Windows emulator for Linux, based on what I reaad when I was on HSO can be tricky.

It's still funny for me to keep seeing people whining about Dark Nebula, when it's caused me to play much more than I used to. Better red stars, better combat in general, less hydrogen problems...

Sounds like the only people who moan about old HS were the top players who all micromanaged the fun out of the game with alts and farms.

No farm, and I rarely used my alt for hydro once I upgraded my forage modules.
Just piss of no module balance since DN is out, no other way to upgrade your corp than farm WS, no way to recruit new players as no more ingame chat.
Plus it takes hours to find 4 players for rs11 as many left the game since they can only bring 4 arts/rs, and killing trading on the way.

Less hydro problems? Are you buying hydro with real money or how come you have less problems now than before xD

I've been playing HS on Linux for years, no problems with the DN transition. All is functional if you select "Compatibility" > "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility too" > last non-experimental Proton version.

I'd also like to know how there's less hydro problems? I refuse to spend real money, so please share any other solution / advice for avoiding hydro problems.

Keep your genesis and hydro replicator levels high and there will not be any hydro issues.

I'm starting to think they quietly fixed hydro, actually.

Right after the update I was draining all my hydro on shipments, leaving nothing for RS and forcing me to pick one thing to do each day. I took a break and came back and now I don't even have to mine, I barely scratch my reserves before my transports and research station are brimming with artifacts and the hydro fills back up passively overnight.

It's like two different games.

I did about 40 drs runs during the last RS Event. Hydro is pretty generous now.

Haven't played for a while. Removing Sanctuary module in Dark Nebula ruined my game. I can't make Kamikaze attacks anymore. I can't left my attack ships at the RS and then get teleported it back. What's the point in this? We have no even PvP at Red Stars. Why do this?

Sanctuary is innate now, just stay out of DRS and don't forget to jump your ships home...

[flyingangel]

Yes. I've figured this out lately. Though ships left somewhere at RS are lost forefer unlike it was before.

Actually after some more investigating I kind of like Dark Nebula changes. Some are questionable but some are positive to me.

Sad there are much less people keep playing. The game feels desolate and rural like remote outer space currently :)
